Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ishq EDP
This one is a real head-turner, divisive but magnetic. Love it or hate it, Ishq commands attention with its potent blend of fruit and spice, often drawing comparisons to BR540 but with its own unique, powdery, fruity punch.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Decadence Oil
112 captures Marc Jacobs Decadence's plum-saffron-amber core reasonably well, though it lacks the original's smoky, leathery vetiver depth and reads sweeter and more one-dimensional. An affordable taste of that dark, opulent mood.
